Bake in the preheated oven until the eggs are set and the crust is golden brown, approximately 30-35 minutes. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean. (35 minutes)

Let the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly and prevents it from collapsing. (10 minutes)
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as Gruyere, Parmesan, or Monterey Jack.
To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, blind-bake it for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
